Well, what context are you looking for? Leni Riefenstahl is hard to ignore. She was a propaganda filmmaker for the nazis, and died only in 2003, perhaps the last living person to have banged Der Fuhrer himself.

If you’re looking for films that just are topically about fascism or nazism, there have been several out of Hollywood in recent years: Inglorious Basterds and Valkyrie are recent examples.

inb4VforVendetta. It’s more “Liberals vs Conservatives” than “Anarchy vs Fascism” like the graphic novel
I second @janbb‘s choice of “Pan’s Labyrinth”. If you have the stomach, I can also recommend some extreme movies (“Men Behind the Sun”, “Salo”)

Part of the synopsis: “Shot in battle-ravaged Italy and Germany, these three films are some of our most lasting, humane documents of devastated postwar Europe, containing universal images of both tragedy and hope.”
